99 Vegan "School Night" Dinner Recipes!

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Aug 30, 2024 · published: Aug 31, 2017 · About 6 minutes to read this article. Leave a Comment


Back-to-School season is in full swing, and that means busy nights, new schedules to get used to and lots and lots of meal prep for school lunches, breakfast (aka power fuel) and of course dinner. Dinnertime swings around and the phrase "What's for dinner?" can leave the cook-of-the-house in a panic to get something delicious, healthy and easy on the table in a flash. Well even though I do not have kids of my own, I absolutely remember that dinnertime rush, and I see it with my family and friends who have school-aged kids. Things can get crazy! And that is why I reached out to my blogger friends from FindingVegan and asked them to contribute an easy, fast, relatively healthy and delicious meal!

Bonus: Shopping List! I am giving away a FREE meal-planning bonus today! A "vegan basics" shopping list with around 50 of my favorite ingredients to buy at the grocery store + 10 grocery shopping tips. This is an exclusive, limited time freebie as part of a meal planning e-book that I am working on for you guys. (shopping list download is at the bottom of this post)

Here they are, 99 Vegan "School Night" Dinner Recipes!..

Thank you to all the bloggers who contributed their vegan recipes. If you see something you love, click over to their website and show them some love in their comments section! That pretty much makes every blogger's day to hear that one of our recipes inspired someone.
